Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the exercise of control over the delivery of solid material to the interior of a pressurized vessel and particularly to the controlled delivery of charge material to the interior of an operating shaft furnace. More specifically, this invention is directed to apparatus for controlling the rate of flow of material being directed onto the hearth of a furnace and flowing under the influence of gravity. Accordingly, the general objects of the present invention are to provide novel and improved methods and apparatus of such character.
  • the present invention is particularly well suited for use in a furnace charging installation of the type disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,693,812 wherein a charge distribution member, in the form of a chute or spout, is supported for rotation in the throat of the furnace and is angularly adjustable relative to the longitudinal axis of the furnace.
  • a charge distribution member in the form of a chute or spout
  • one of the parameters which is desirably controlled by the furnace operator is the profile of the charge material which is deposited upon the furnace hearth.
  • the charge material profile may be accurately controlled through the exercise of control over the orientation of the distribution member of U.S. Pat. No. 3,693,812 and by exercising control over the rate at which the charge material is supplied to the distribution member.
  • the material with which the furnace is to be charged will be temporarily stored in a sealable vessel positioned above the furnace throat, this intermediate storage vessel being alternately depressurized for loading and pressurized through a level of the furnace pressure for unloading into the furnace.
  • this intermediate storage vessel When released from the temporary storage vessel, the furnace charge material will travel downwardly, under the influence of gravity, and will be guided through channels to the upper end of the charge distribution member.
  • a metering device to control the rate of flow of charge material, will be located along the flow path between the temporary storage vessel and the distribution member, the metering device being physically positioned above the top of the furnace to facilitate installation and service.
  • a prior art charge metering or flow control device of the type generally described above is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,074,835. It is to be noted that, in the prior art, the metering device has been installed in a channel or passage which was angularly inclined with respect to the furnace axis. The angularly inclined channel directed the charge material from the temporary storage vessel to the upper end of a vertically oriented feed channel which had its discharge end aligned with the upper end of the distribution member within the furnace.
  • the present invention overcomes the above-briefly discussed and other deficiencies and disadvantages by providing a novel technique for exercising control over the delivery of solid material to the interior of a pressurized enclosure.
  • the present invention also encompasses unique apparatus for use in the practice of the aforesaid method and particularly apparatus for use in the charging of a shaft furnace wherein an intermediate storage vessel is located coaxially with the furnace and a metering device, capable of regulating the rate of flow of vertically falling solid material, is located between the storage vessel and the furnace throat.
  • Apparatus in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention comprises a furnace charging installation wherein an intermediate storage vessel, in the form of a hermetically sealable chamber, is mounted such that its discharge orifice is coaxial with the furnace axis.
  • the apparatus further comprises a metering device which effectively controls the size of the vessel discharge orifice in such a manner that the orifice remains generally symmetrical with respect to the furnace axis.
  • the metering device is housed in a valve housing subassembly and is comprised of a pair of registers which have a generally spherical shape.
  • Each of these registers is provided with a generally V-shaped cut-out and the registers are mounted so as to overlap whereby the cut-outs may be placed in registration.
  • the registers are simultaneously movable in opposite directions so as to cause the cut-outs therein to define a delivery orifice of variable area which remains symmetrical with respect to the furnace axis.
  • the metering device is preferably located at the lower end of short discharge conduit, extending from the base of the intermediate storage vessel, which is also coaxial with the furnace axis.
  • upper and lower sealing valves are associated with the intermediate storage vessel whereby the vessel may be alternately pressurized and depressurized.
  • These sealing valves may be generally in the shape of spherical caps and the lower valve will be supported within the same housing as the metering device.
  • a reservoir in the form of an open-topped feed or stand-by hopper may be mounted above the intermediate storage vessel and this hopper may, itself, be coaxial with the furnace.
  • the hopper if present will be provided with a retaining valve in its lower end to support the charge material when the upper sealing valve of the intermediate storage vessel is in the closed position.
  • the intermediate storage vessel may be surmounted by a further enclosure which, by virtue of the provision of upper and lower sealing valves, may itself be alternately pressurized and depressurized.
  • the upper enclosure when present, will be provided with a retaining valve to support charge material above the lower sealing valve of the said enclosure.
  • the charge material retaining valve provided at the lower end thereof will preferably take the general form of the above-described metering device, i.e., the retaining valve will comprise either a single or double spherical register, except that the cut-outs will be eliminated.
  • the retaining device and the reservoir discharge opening with which it is associated will preferably be as large as possible in the interest of transferring the contents of the hopper or enclosure to the intermediate storage vessel as rapidly as possible. If the intermediate storage vessel loading operation can be completed in not more than a few seconds, the total duration of a charging cycle employing the present invention will approximate that previously achieved through the use of a pair of juxtapositioned intermediate storage vessels which were operated in alternate fashion.
  • the registers of the metering device, the retaining valves and the sealing valves all take the form of segments of a sphere, i.e., these elements are spherical caps. These spherical caps are rotatable about axes which are, in the case of the sealing valves, situated approximately on the level of the axis of rotation of the metering device or retaining valve with which the sealing valves are associated. This arrangement enables the sealing valves to be closely spaced to the cooperating metering device or retaining valve and thus enables the total height of the charging system to be reduced when compared to the prior art.
  • a sealing valve and the associated charge control device may be mounted within a common housing which can be removed from the charging installation as a unit and without disassembly of any of the apparatus.
  • the registers of the metering device are supported at one side of the channel or passage with which the metering device is associated by means of a single shaft and, on the other side of this channel, by a pair of coaxial shafts.
  • the actuating mechanism for the metering device registers comprises a sliding fork which is displaceable in a direction perpendicular to the pivot axis of the registers.
  • This fork is provided with a pair of parallel racks which cooperate with sector gears integral with the coaxial support shafts of the registers.
  • the metering device register driving mechanism comprises a rotary shaft which is perpendicular to the pivot axis of the registers.
  • This rotary shaft is driven by a motor via an endless screw and a wormwheel.
  • the shaft supports a pair of conical pinions, respectively located on opposite sides of the register pivot axis, which cooperate with conical toothed sectors which are respectively integral with the coaxial rotatable support shafts of the registers.
  • the mechanisms for operating the sealing valves in accordance with the present invention produce a two-phase motion.
  • the spherical cap member is moved away from its cooperating valve seat and, during a second or transverse phase, the cap is pivoted about an axis which passes through its center of curvature and is moved out of the channel so as not to be impinged upon by the falling charge material.
  • the valve closing operation will, of course, comprise the same two phases of motion performed in the reverse order.

  • FIGS. 1 and 2 shaft furnace charging installations in accordance with two embodiments of the present invention are respectively shown schematically in FIGS. 1 and 2.
  • the charging installation is supported above the upper part or throat area of a shaft furnace 20 which will operate with a high counter-pressure.
  • a rotatable and angularly adjustable distribution member, in the form of a spout 22, is suspended within the furnace.
  • the aiming of the spout 22 is controlled by a mechanism 24 so that the material with which the furnace is to be charged, the said material being controllably released from the charging installation, will be directed by spout 22 onto the furnace hearth so as to achieve the desired charge profile on the hearth.
  • a short central feed channel 26, the upper part of which has a funnel shape, is positioned within the furnace immediately above spout 22 and insures that the charge material delivered into the furnace will be directed onto the upper end of the spout.
  • the charging installation of FIG. 1 comprises a vessel 28 which is coaxial with and supported above furnace 20.
  • upper and lower sealing valves respectively indicated at 44 and 36, are provided in order to permit vessel 28 to be alternately pressurized and depressurized.
  • a valve cage or housing is positioned between the lower or discharge end of vessel 28 and the top of the furnace as defined by the open upper end of feed channel 26.
  • the lower sealing valve 36 and a charge metering device 34 are positioned within valve housing 30.
  • the metering device 34 in the manner to be described below, regulates the outflow of charge material from vessel 28 via a discharge conduit 38 which is coaxial with vessel 28 and forms a prolongation of the open lower end thereof.
  • vessel 28 and its discharge conduit 38 are coaxial with the furnace axis 0.
  • the metering device 34 defines a variable size opening which is generally symmetrical about axis 0. Charge material being delivered to the furnace will fall directly from vessel 28 onto the upper end of spout 22 and the stream of falling charge material will be symmetrical with respect to the furnace axis. The discharge of material from vessel 28, therefore, always takes place in the same manner and the prior art charging process control problems resulting from a lack of symmetry due to an angled and eccentric flow of the charge material are eliminated.
  • the nature of the control exercised over the metering device 34 will be a function of the furnace charging requirements and the contents of vessel 28.
  • the vessel In order to permit knowledge of the contents of vessel 28, the vessel is either continuously or intermitently weighed.
  • the valve housing 30 In order for the weighing to occur, vessel 28 must be suspended above rather than being rigidly attached to furnace 20 and this necessitates that the valve housing 30 must include a peripheral compensator 32 which will provide a hermetic seal while permitting a limited degree of movement of vessel 28 along the furnace axis 0.
  • the weighing of vessel 28 is effected by means of a number of sensors 40, which may for example comprise strain gauges, on which the vessel is supported. In the typical instance there will be three sensors 40 which are mounted at the top of upright structural members 42 which form part of the furnace superstructure.
  • the upper sealing valve 44 will be closed, the lower sealing valve 36 will be open, the metering device 34 will be at least partly opened and the pressure in vessel 28 will be approximately equal to that prevailing within the furnace.
  • a lifting force proportional to the cross-sectional area of compensator 32 will be applied to vessel 28.
  • the sensors 40 are prestressed by an amount equal to or greater than the lifting force.
  • a stand-by hopper 46 is supported above vessel 28. Hopper 46 will be loaded with charge material during those periods that upper sealing valve 44 is closed such as, for example, when vessel 28 is discharging its contents into furnace 20.
  • the lower end of hopper 46 terminates in a delivery conduit 52.
  • a retaining valve 48 is provided at the lower end of conduit 52. The retaining valve 48 supports the material in hopper 46 when the sealing valve 44 is closed. To insure that the charge material will be transferred as rapidly as possible from hopper 46 into vessel 28, the cross-sectional area of delivery conduit 52 is made as large as possible.
  • the hopper is supported on beams 50 and there is a total separation of the hopper from the vessel 28 immediately below the retaining valve 48.
  • the intermediate or temporary storage vessel is indicated at 60 and, as in the embodiment of FIG. 1, is coaxial with furnace 20.
  • a further storage vessel 58 provided with an upper sealing valve 62 and a lower sealing valve 64, is mounted above vessel 60.
  • the metering of the flow of charge material into the furnace is, in the FIG. 2 embodiment, effected by means of a metering device 68 which will be identical to the metering device 34 of the embodiment of FIG. 1.
  • the metering device 68 controls the flow of charge material through a discharge conduit 66 which forms an extension of the open lower end of vessel 60.
  • the metering device 68 is positioned within a valve housing which is indicated generally at 80.
  • the intermediate storage vessel 60 functions as a weighing hopper and thus is supported on a plurality of sensors 72 mounted on uprights 74 of the furnace superstructure. Also, the vessel 60 is hermetically coupled to the furnace by means of a compensator 70. Vessel 60 is also hermetically coupled to the vessel 58 by a second flexible compensator 76. By making the section of compensator 76 equal to that of compensator 70, the lifting forces due to the counter-pressure will be balanced out and thus will not effect the results of the weighing operation. Accordingly, in the FIG. 2 embodiment it is not necessary to prestress the sensors 72.
  • the vessel 58 is supported on beams 84. Communication between the interior of vessels 58 and 60 is afforded by means of a retaining valve 78 which is opened when the sealing valve 64 is open.
  • the retaining valve 78 may be of the same construction as the metering device 68. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, and as will be described in greater detail below, this construction will consist of a pair of cooperating registers. Where these cooperating registers are to perform a metering function they will be provided with cut-outs of appropriate size and shape. However, when the registers are to perform merely a retaining function they will be of continuous construction. It is, of course, also possible to employ a single element retaining valve, such as the valve 48 of the FIG. 1 embodiment, in the embodiment of FIG. 2 and vice versa.
  • valve housing which has been indicated generally at 82.
  • This housing is removable as a complete unit. This is also true of the housing 30 of FIG. 1 and housing 80 of FIG. 2, removal being accomplished by disconnecting the unit and sliding it to the side together with the discharge conduits at the lower ends of the intermediate storage vessels.
  • the valve housings will be described in greater detail below in the discussion of FIGS. 3 and 4.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 are both characterized by the positioning of the intermediate storage vessel coaxially with the furnace. These two embodiments share the common advantage of the elimination of the movement of the descending charge material at an angle with respect to the furnace axis. Additionally, the unbalanced forces which are exerted on the furnace superstructure as a result of the pressurization of an off-axis storage vessel are eliminated.
  • the embodiment of FIG. 1 has, when compared to the FIG. 2 embodiment, a lower overall height due to the fact that the hopper 46 is open-topped. Thus, in the FIG. 1 embodiment there is no need for the upper sealing valve 62 of the FIG. 2 embodiment. It is also to be noted that the open-topped hopper of the FIG. 1 embodiment may be easily filled through the use of skips or a conveyor.
  • the FIG. 2 embodiment eliminates the need for prestressing the strain gauges employed in the weighing operation.
  • a further advantage common to both of the embodiments of FIGS. 1 and 2 resides in the fact that the design of the sealing valves and metering devices permits a very compact construction for the valve housings in which these devices are mounted.
  • the shape of the registers which form the metering devices correspond to the shape of the sealing valves and the axes of rotation of both of the registers and of the valves are situated approximately at the same level.
  • the metering device 34 comprises a pair of registers 86 and 88 with concentric spherical curvature.
  • the center of curvature of registers 86 and 88 is situated at the intersection of their pivot axis, indicated at X in FIG. 3, and the axis 0 of the furnace.
  • the registers 86 and 88 are supported at one side of the valve housing on the same pivot shaft 90 which is mounted in the wall 92 of housing 30.
  • the upper register 86 is affixed to a shaft 94 which passes coaxially through a hollow shaft 96.
  • the lower register 88 is affixed to shaft 96.
  • the two coaxial shafts 94 and 96 can rotate relative to each other and relative to the wall 92 of housing 30, suitable bearings being provided to permit such rotation.
  • suitable shaft seals are, of course, also provided in order to insure the necessary hermeticity of the interior of housing 30.
  • the sealing valve 36 which is also positioned within the housing 30, is applied against a valve seat 98 affixed to the lower end of a conduit 100 when in the closed position.
  • the conduit 100 is coaxial with and surrounds the discharge conduit 38 of the intermediate storage vessel.
  • the valve 36 like the registers 86 and 88, has the shape of a spherical cap.
  • the center of curvature of valve 36 is also situated at the intersection of axes 0 and X.
  • the axis of rotation Y of valve 36 is at a predetermined angle with respect to the axis of rotation of the registers comprising the metering device 34. The angle between axes X and Y results from the necessity of providing space for the movement of the various components of the drive mechanism and preventing impact against the shaft 90.
  • the sealing valve 36 is supported from the wall 92 of housing 30 by a drive means which will be described in greater detail below.
  • This drive means causes valve 36 to pivot about axis Y during movement between the closed position shown in FIG. 4 and a "storage position" in which the valve member is located in the annular space between conduit 100 and wall 92 of housing 30.
  • the registers 86 and 88 are similarly driven, by means which will be described in detail below, to cause them to simultaneously rotate in opposite directions about axis X. During such movement the registers move from the closed position shown in FIG. 4 to a full open position wherein they are disposed in the annular space between the conduits 38 and 100. The operation of the registers 86 and 88 will be further described below in the discussion of FIGS. 5-8.
  • FIGS. 5-8 a metering device in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention is shown schematically in various operational positions.
  • the registers 86 and 88 comprising the metering device are shown in the closed position.
  • the registers 86 and 88 each have the shape of a spherical cap, i.e., a segment of a sphere.
  • Register 86 is provided with generally a V-shaped cut-out portion 86a while register 88 is provided with a similarly shaped cut-out 88a.
  • These cut-out portions 86a and 88a are symmetrical relative to the same diametric plane.
  • the cut-out portions of the registers are situated on the side of each register which constitutes the "attack" side thereof, i.e., the register which first penetrates the stream of material descending downwardly in the conduit 38 when moving from the full open position toward the closed position. Further, in order to permit a complete closing of the conduit 38, the cut-outs must not be deeper than the radius of conduit 38. As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, with the metering device in the closed or no-flow position, the cut-out portion 86a of the upper register 86 completely overlies a solid portion of register 88 while the cut-out portion 88a of register 88 is completely covered by a solid part of register 86.
  • the cut-out portions When the metering device is in the closed position, the cut-out portions must diverge from the central region toward the edges of the registers. It is not, however, necessary for the sides delimiting each of the cut-out portions to extend along a straight line. Thus, considering a plan view of the register, the sides of the cut-outs may be slightly curved relative to the edges in order to define an optimum geometrical shape of the discharge aperture.
  • FIGS. 7 and 8 depict the opening of the registers of the metering device.
  • the registers 86 and 88 when the registers 86 and 88 are pivoted in opposite directions in accordance with the arrows on FIG. 7 the solid parts of the registers move apart while the cut-out portions 86a and 88a come into registration to determine the discharge aperture cross-section.
  • the rotation of the registers 86 and 88 in the direction of the arrows of FIG. 7 causes the metering device to go from the full closed position of FIG. 6 to the partially open position of FIG. 8.
  • an aperture having the generally diamond-shape indicated by cross hatching in FIG. 8 will be formed.
  • the registers 86 and 88 define a flow control opening, through which the charge material will be discharged from the intermediate storage vessel, which may be varied in size but which at all times will be symmetrical with respect to the axis 0 of the furnace.
  • the geometrical shape of the opening through which the furnace charge material passes may be varied by changing the shape of one or both of the cut-out portions 86a and 88a in the registers.
  • a diamond-shaped opening with concave sides as depicted in FIG. 8
  • a diamond-shape with convex sides tending toward a circle, can be achieved.
  • FIGS. 9-11 are a schematic view of a first embodiment of a drive mechanism for actuating the two registers of a metering device in accordance with the present invention simultaneously and in opposite directions.
  • This drive mechanism is positioned within a housing 110 which is mounted outside of the valve housings 30, 80 and 82.
  • the drive mechanism comprises a sliding fork 112 supported for motion along its longitudinal axis, i.e., perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the coaxial shafts 94 and 96 (FIGS. 3 and 4).
  • the branches 114 and 116 of fork 112 have, formed integral therewith, gear teeth which define a pair of parallel racks.
  • the rotatable shafts 94 and 96 have, affixed thereto, sector gears, a sector 118 being integral with shaft 94 and a sector 120 being integral with shaft 96.
  • the sectors 118 and 120 are engaged by the racks on branches 114 and 116 respectively of fork 112 and, accordingly, movement of the fork 112 along the axis of its shank or handle portion 122 will cause the registers 86 and 88 to be rotated synchronously and in opposite directions, the direction of rotation being dependent upon the direction of movement of fork 112.
  • Motion is imparted to fork 112 by means of providing the shank portion 122 thereof with a further integral rack which is engaged by a pinion gear 124.
  • Gear 124 is integral with a shaft 126 supported, as shown in FIG. 10, in bearings in housing 110.
  • Rotatable shaft 126 is driven by a motor, not shown, via an endless screw assembly which includes a wormwheel 128.
  • a mechanism 130 located to the exterior of housing 110, is also connected to shaft 126 and simulates and reproduces the movement of the registers 86 and 88 for the purpose of monitoring and controlling the operation of the metering device 34.

Movement is imparted to shaft 140 by means of an electric motor 152 located externally of the housing, the output shaft of motor 152 being coupled to shaft 140 by means of an endless screw 156 and a wormwheel 158, the screw 156 and wormwheel 158 defining a reduction gear system positioned within a separate housing 154.
  • valve housing must, in all embodiments of the present invention, be hermetically sealed. This sealing may be accomplished either in the wall of the valve housing itself, i.e., between the valve housing and the housing for the drive mechanisms for actuating the registers of the metering device, and/or in the external wall of the drive mechanism housing. In the latter case the housing for the drive mechanism will be subjected to the pressure prevailing within the furnace.

  • the rod 170 is caused to perform an axial longitudinal movement by means of an actuator 172 which may comprise an electric, hydraulic or pneumatic motor.
  • the rotatable support 160 is connected, at the exterior of the valve housing, to an actuator by means of an arm 174.
  • This actuator may comprise a hydraulic jack, endless screw or any other suitable means for causing the support 160 to rotate about the axis Y.
  • the operation of opening the valve 36 consists of a first phase wherein the valve member is displaced, in a generally longitudinal direction, from the valve seat 98. This is accomplished by actuating the motor 172 to cause the rod 170 to be displaced from the position shown in solid lines to the position shown in broken lines. This movement causes the valve 36 to rotate, under the influence of the motor and its own weight, about the pivot 166. Once the valve member 36 has been displaced from the valve seat, the entire mechanism including the valve member 36, arm 168 and tubular support 160 are rotated about axis Y by imparting motion to arm 174. This will cause the valve 36 to move to a "storage" position between the conduit 100 and the housing wall 92 (see FIG. 4).
  • the process of closing the sealing valve consists of the same operations performed in the reverse order, i.e., the rotation of support 160 about axis Y followed by a translational movement of rod 170 to the right as the apparatus is depicted in FIG. 14.
  • the sealing valve actuating mechanism of FIG. 15 comprises an L-shaped pivotal support, indicated generally at 180, having a first branch 180a mounted in the wall 92 of the valve housing for rotation, in a bearing system 162, about axis Y.
  • a hydraulic actuator comprising a piston 182 is mounted within the branch 180a of support 180. Piston 182 is biased to the position shown, commensurate with the sealing valve being closed, by means of a spring 186.
  • the piston rod 180 of the hydraulic actuator extends along axis Y, through the center of spring 186, and is pivotally connected to the first end of a linkage 190.
  • the second branch 180b of support 180 is also of tubular construction and houses a slide member 188.
  • Suitable means are provided to prevent relative rotation between the slide member 188 and the branch 180b of support 180.
  • the upper end of slide 188 is articulated to the second end of the linkage 190.
  • the second or lower end of slide 188 is connected to an arm 192 which, in turn, is affixed to the valve member 36.
  • the connection between the slide member 188 and arm 192 is releasable, this detachable connection being symbolized by the nut 194, and is anti-gyratory in order to avoid any relative rotation between arm 192 and slide 188.
  • the branch 180a of support 180 is, at the exterior of the valve housing, provided with an integral arm 196. Arm 196 will be actuated, in order to cause rotation of the support about axis Y, by means of a hydraulic jack or other drive mechanism, not shown.
  • a rotatable fluid connection, indicated at 198, will enable the actuation of piston 182 without impeding the rotation of support 180.
  • the delivery of pressurized fluid to the interior of the cylinder defined in branch 180a of support 180 via the rotatable connection 198 will overcome the bias of spring 186 and displace piston 182 to the left as the apparatus is depicted in FIG. 15.
  • the movement of piston 182 is transmitted, via piston rod 184, to linkage 190.
  • the actuation of piston 182 may, because of the rotatable connection 198, be maintained while the support 180 is being rotated.
  • the operation of opening the valve 36 comprises, as in the embodiment of FIG. 14, an initial phase wherein the valve 36 is moved away from the valve seat 98. This initial opening phase is accomplished by imparting movement to piston 182 and will cause the linkage 190, slide member 188, arm 192 and valve member 36 to move from the position shown in solid lines to that shown in broken lines. With the valve member 36 displaced from the valve seat, torque will be applied to arm 196 to rotate the support 180 and valve 36 about axis Y to move the valve member into the "storage" position.
  • the closing operation is, of course, comprised of the same movements performed in the reverse order.
  • FIG. 16 illustrates a third embodiment of a sealing valve actuating mechanism in accordance with the present invention.
  • the apparatus of FIG. 16 is similar to that of FIG. 15 and thus the same reference numerals have been employed in FIGS. 15 and 16.
  • an L-shape pivoting support indicated generally at 200, is supported in the wall 192 of the valve housing by means of a bearing system 162. Rotation is imparted to support 200 by means of an arm 196 which is affixed thereto at a point to the exterior of the valve housing.
  • the branch of support 200 which is positioned within the housing defines a hydraulic actuator having a cylinder 208 and a piston 210 which is capable of movement in a direction which is perpendicular to axis Y.
  • the piston 210 is biased, by means of a spring 202 to the position shown which corresponds to the sealing valve being in the closed condition.
  • Hydraulic fluid for operating the hydraulic actuator is delivered to the cylinder by means of a rotatable coupling 198, located to the exterior of the valve housing, and a passage 206 which extends along the axis of rotation of support 200.
  • a piston rod 204 extends from piston 210 and performs the function of the slide member 188 of the FIG. 15 embodiment, the end of the piston rod being removably attached to the arm 192 to which the valve member 36 is affixed. Relative rotation between arm 192 and piston rod 204 will be prevented in any suitable manner as will rotation between piston rod 204 and the branch of the support 200 in which it moves.
  • valve member 36 moving from the position shown in solid lines to the position shown in broken lines.
  • torque will be applied to arm 196 to cause the valve member 36 to be pivoted into the "storage" position.
  • the closing operation of the valve of the FIG. 16 embodiment will consist of the performance of the same steps in the reverse order with the final closing phase comprising the movement of the valve member from the position shown in broken lines back to the position shown in solid lines under the influence of spring 202 after the release of the hydraulic pressure in cylinder 208.
